Friday Favorites: Hulu

December 2, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Happy Friday friends! I spend all day yesterday thinking it was Wednesday, so it’s a pleasant surprise that today is Friday. I spent yesterday doing some work, house cleaning, and I also did some ab work and arm work, you know, things I can do in the boot. Today I plan to do more of the same, and finish hanging our outside Christmas lights so I can have some picture for yall this weekend. Since I don’t have them yet, here is a fun picture of frozen Bella in her evil sweater. Yes friends, she stayed frozen like this for a minute or two until I fixed it. Poor baby.

I haven’t done Friday Favorites in a couple weeks so I figured it was time for another round! So what am I loving this week? Hulu! Well, actually, I love Hulu every week, but since I have been in the boot, I have tried to stay on the couch a bit more because it’s so cumbersome. When I need a break from work I can’t go run, so instead I watch reruns of Desperate housewives (my new addiction. Why have I never watched this before?) Today I caught up on last week’s Biggest Loser, which really made me miss running!

You can even pay for Hulu plus and watch even more shows, on more devices, in HD with no advertisements. I have been tempted to pay for Hulu plus for awhile but haven’t taken the plunge. Has anyone done this? What do you think? I may try the one week free trial.

Hulu will even recommend new shows for you based on what you watch, and it also will tell you what the most recent and most popular episodes are for any given day.

Hulu is especially great in the summer when all of my favorite shows are on hiatus until fall comes, and there is no football to watch (sad times for Heather and Bobby!)

But not anymore, since I discovered Hulu a year of so ago. Happiness!!!

I have some mad ups, yo.

QOYD: Do you watch television online? Do you use Hulu or another site? which one?

    YES! I use HULU all the time. I am never home when my favorite shows are on, so I always catch them online when I can 🙂

    Just stopping by to say that I miss you! I really wish you lived closer so we could hang out again. Hope that things get better with your foot soon. My husband was in a boot/cast about a month ago (tendonitis) but he is feeling better now. He is going to run/walk the half marathon with me in Vegas on Sunday!
    Hey, when I get back I want to talk to you about pricing a Disney vacation for the first week of April. We are flexible on dates, number of days but may want to meet my sister’s family there sometime that week.

    I love Hulu, too! We subscribe to Hulu plus but unfortunately, they still play commercials. :0(
    Hope you are doing ok with the boot!

    I LOVE Hulu and I do pay for plus, since a lot of shows have moved to that. However I don’t have cable so 7.99/month is better than 59.99/month. Ha! I DO hate the commercials though, I wish there was a way to watch like 2-3 mins of them at a time to bank your time. I never realized how precious they were during a show though when I need to use the RR. B/c Apparently I don’t know how to pause? Anyway! Enjoy your weekend!

      I hate the commercials too. I TRY to remember to just DVR things so I dont have to watch commercials but I never remember!

BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 I drove the same Toyota 4Ru BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 

I drove the same Toyota 4Runner for 14 1/2 years. Last October, we got a good deal on a Highlander platinum with 10,000 miles on it from @foxtoyota. 

The only problem is, I wanted the Grand Highlander platinum, because it has way more cargo room, legroom, and some other features that the regular Highlander doesn’t have. I thought that’s what we were getting, but it wasn’t available and we ended up with the regular Highlander, which don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful for after driving the same car for so long.

However, as the months went on, the differences were very noticeable, especially with how much we travel and the lack of space. Without me knowing, Bobby had been doing research and working with the wonderful folks at Fox, and was able to find us a brand new Grand Highlander platinum. 

He had hoped it would arrive for my birthday, but it was a couple weeks late, which was totally worth it. He’s usually really bad at surprising me (my 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out.) so I was truly in shock and speechless when I came home and this new car, which we named Ruby, was in the garage!

@bobbymontg may not be the most romantic guy, but he shows his love in ways that he knows I appreciate. Best birthday gift ever! 🩷

While grabbing a few things at Walgreens, I picked up a Kohl’s gift card and turned it into the cutest teacher gift — a mason jar wrapped in ribbon, full of pencils with a tag that says “This year is going to be on point.” 🎯 

It’s simple, thoughtful, and super practical — because who doesn’t love a gift they can actually use? 

Walgreens makes it so easy to grab @incommpayments gift cards for everyone on your back-to-school list — from teachers to even yourself (because let’s be real, moms need a win too 😉).
